About Vitenamese Train
Note: 1st Class Sleepers in Vietnam Trains are called ‘soft’ beds, and there are 4 berths in a cabin. While 2nd Class Sleepers are considered hard beds and there are 6 berths in a cabin.
In my experience, unless you are very picky 2nd class is just as fine and very comfortable.
